Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Incorporating data loss prevention capabilities built into the Microsoft platform to endpoints, such as Windows 10 and Windows 11 computers, can also help prevent data loss and is highly advantageous.""Before using it, we had a lot of unlabeled data, and the tool helped us quickly and accurately label a large number of documents.""The UI is user-friendly, and I have observed that it improves further each year.""It ensures that sensitive data is automatically safeguarded, even for email attachments, regardless of the user or device.""We can restrict access or specify who can see sensitivity labels, which can be based on the classification level. We can encrypt restricted content and limit who can see that from an internal view, too, so Purview is a powerful tool."

"The solution’s pricing is moderate.""Its technical support team is helpful.""The product is stable.""The most valuable feature of Protegrity Data Security is the reduction of information being exposed."

Cons
"There is potential for more integration in the use of AI.""Microsoft can improve the affordability of Purview Information Protection by offering it at a lower cost.""There is room for improvement with the policy tips feature.""Microsoft Purview Information Protection can improve in terms of scan concurrency and scan processing time.""Our primary concern is third-party application visibility. Many people choose other DLP tools, as they can search the Office 365 suite and detect sensitive information across thousands of other apps. The product is weak compared to the competitors on the DLP front, but the classification is good; the tool needs a bit more maturation."

"Protegrity is using a different OS which has some bugs. Sometimes it's causing an initialization error.""Protegrity Data Security could improve by having more integration.""The solution's UI could be better."

Pricing and Cost Advice

  • "The price is determined by the enterprise licensing, either the E3 or E5 licensing or the EMS plus security and other feature licensing."
